Did Dolores Huerta get $100,000 from the Clinton Foundation?

[SoLeftIAmRight]

...

[boomer55]

1. at a minimum. probably LOTS more

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1292568

[leftofcool]

2. Uh no! The Huerta Foundation which is a charity to help Latinos got that money

Nice try though.

[bravenak]

3. Smh

[leftofcool]

7. Anything to make her look bad.

[Skwmom]

4. It is still her foundation she is getting money for. Doesnt' she want to keep the money coming?

[bettyellen]

63. tweet this widely!

go for it!

[jsmirman]

88. Yes, please tweet, post, share this as widely as possible

and please make sure to point out that you're a Bernie supporter and that you believe Dolores Huerta is morally compromised. Do it. It will go terrifically for you.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

6. and she works for free???

just wondering

[leftofcool]

11. Endorsements are freely given, yes

Do you have a problem with one large charitable foundation helping a smaller one?

[SoLeftIAmRight]

16. like those oval office ...

cigars

[Hekate]

53. Spell out what you are implying about this 85 y.o. woman

[SoLeftIAmRight]

58. A Saint Huerta would have found common ground and resolved the situation rationally.

A Saint Huerta would have never tweeted what seems to be a lie.

But Dolores Huerta is just a fine woman who made a mistake.

To many there she was just another Clinton supporter - not a saint or a god or just a fine lady - what people saw was a Clinton supporter - serving as an "unbiased speaker"

nothing evil - nothing personal - simple balance was asked for

The issue would have ended there if a terrible thing did not follow

She tweeted a lie and has now taken it back

[Hekate]

59. Now you are being disingenuous. What you implied was something else...

...and you know it.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

61. not at all - is she a Clinton supporter?

is she a strong Clinton supporter?

did she make a mistake or...? can you know for sure?

Could she have resolved the situation without you and I having to think about it?

You must see that this was not resolved well - can we agree on this one point?

[CorkySt.Clair]

66. A really ugly look from some Bernie fans tonight

If today is any indicator Super Tuesday will be more of the same to the 10th power.

[JimDandy]

82. Really ugly action from some Clinton supporters. Bernie supporters calling

out that action is not just appropriate it is what is required of anyone who is concerned about the integrity and fairness of our voting and election processes.

[bettyellen]

64. assholes were hectoring her and yelling at her to "get off the stage". Probably because Hillary had

more than double the votes in that room. Shitty sour ass grapes.

[CorkySt.Clair]

68. We've seen a lot of that in this forum tonight

What a bunch of sore losers.

[bettyellen]

70. I used to wish SBS a long run in the primaries. Now I think it's best he pack it in in a couple of

weeks. After he loses Michigan. It's just not worth it having any Dem campaign be this ugly.

[CorkySt.Clair]

72. He won't do that

Bernie's ego is as big as they come.

[bettyellen]

76. I think is more ugly video like this one tonight gets out- "get off the stage" yelled at Huerta....

he might take the high road and end it. He cannot control the assholes, god knows he has begged them to stop.

[CorkySt.Clair]

78. Super Tuesday will be really ugly around here

[Matariki]

79. Oh gosh, the 'ego' meme

I think you're a day late with that one.

[840high]

86. What does age have to

do with anything.?

[notadmblnd]

9. She got paid too

People that run charities pay themselves from money they take in.

[geek tragedy]

19. Stop it, you're embarrassing us rational Bernie supporters.

Only a goddamn moron would entertain the thought that Dolores Huerta (!) would sell out for a few lousy bucks.

[notadmblnd]

25. Oh, I'm the moron?

I have to have respect but you can call her Delores "fucking" Huerta? Double standard there, eh buddy?

[geek tragedy]

30. Your reading comprehension could use improvement.

Inserting the expletive is a way to emphasize the unique stature of the person.

[notadmblnd]

34. Keep coming with the insults guy.

[geek tragedy]

40. You've gone on the record supporting the claim that Dolores Huerta

takes bribes.

There is nothing I could possibly say that would be a greater indictment of your intellect.

[notadmblnd]

45. Well, aren't we all lucky we don't have to pass your test be here?

Just go right ahead and sit up there on your high horse in judgement dude but don't cry to me when President Trump is inaugurated.

[geek tragedy]

48. Given your vile attacks on Dolores Huerta, i suspect

you're hoping for that. Not your type of person.

[notadmblnd]

50. hyperbole much?

[geek tragedy]

51. No. The type of person who would hurl hatred and vile smears

at Dolores Huerta generally lacks progressive views on race and ethnicity.

[notadmblnd]

52. Not too high and mighty to use a broad brush while painting.

My you are talented. And such intellect too.

[bettyellen]

71. I have heard a lot of wishful stuff about Trump winning today. When people tell you who they are-

believe them!

[geek tragedy]

73. Yep. nt

[brush]

54. You need to stop with that accusation.

You're stepped waaaaay over the line with calling Heurta a bribe taker.

Stop embarrassing yourself, and, btw, costing Sanders votes.

[notadmblnd]

57. Well if my post is over the line- alert.

spare me the damn lecture.

[Hekate]

74. Okay, done.

[bettyellen]

33. thanks geek. it is so embarrassing, I feel bad for them. they have no idea who she is.

[840high]

87. Your insults are so Clintonian.

[geek tragedy]

90. lol.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511292568#post11

you ought to try being rational. It's fun.

[840high]

85. Does she not pay herself?

[Joe the Revelator]

5. Yes.

[AzDar]

8. As with *everything* Clinton: Follow The Money!!

[MohRokTah]

10. Please proceed, Sanders supporters. eom

[Joe the Revelator]

12. Hey look! Another lie, another money trail, and another nebulous warning saying...

....'don't look into this'.

Give it a rest.

[geek tragedy]

17. Anyone who accuses Dolores Huerta of corruption is a complete moron.

Complete.

And they don't belong at a progressive website.

[Joe the Revelator]

24. Thanks for your opinion. You're a smart person. Explain to me why she lied, then completely changed

her story when video/eyewitness accounts came out? Let me know!

[notadmblnd]

32. She was doing her benefactor a favor. Lied then changed story because she was caught in it.

She's a beneficiary of the Clinton foundation, she owes them favors if she want's any more money from them.

[geek tragedy]

43. You are the kind of person who thinks Dolores Huerta is a greedy sellout

Your own words condemn you.

[geek tragedy]

35. Maybe because that is how she honestly perceived things.

People attacking her sound like Trump supporters.

[Joe the Revelator]

37. Then maybe don't blast something on Twitter if you're not 100% sure what you heard.

[geek tragedy]

38. People get agitated and say stuff on Twitter that they then

have to retract.

[Joe the Revelator]

39. She should know better. Most major news sources picked it up. It been retweeted 1000s of times. You

and I are talking about it at 2 in the morning. Words have consequences, and if you're going to try to paint a group as being racist, you damn well better be sure about it.

[bettyellen]

65. she should tweet how SBS people cheered at "no translator" and yelled at her to "get off the stage"

because I think that paints the fuller picture.

[840high]

89. I don't givr 2 hoots what you think.

[geek tragedy]

93. you should report that donation to the Dolores Huerta

foundation to the FBI. You and your fellow members of the brain trust have uncovered important evidence of criminal wrongdoing.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511292568#post11

I do care what you think-scorn from your kind is great praise.

[840high]

98. I like my kind - not in the

Hillary pocket. The FBI is busy enough with Hillary's emails.

[geek tragedy]

100. You could report it to Fox News

Your interest in the email story suggests common ground

[840high]

101. The whole nation is interested

in the emails. Good night.

[Hekate]

69. Yeah, it's a shame when you do that.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

13. Hello

You know

[leftofcool]

14. Yep!

[notadmblnd]

29. Just because these people have done some good things

It does not mean that they are as pure as the driven snow and should never be criticized. It' just a lousy attempt to shut down discussion on this board.

[geek tragedy]

36. Accusing her of taking bribes is Trump-style gutter crap.

And it's very likely that those making the accusation harbor animosity towards racial minoritirs who talk back to them.

[notadmblnd]

42. It is no worse than what HRC supporters have done to Sanders here.

For a Sanders supporter I never see you slam his detractors here. Yet you are always defending HRC and her crew.

I will question anyone's integrity that is connected to HRC via $$s especially when they rush to tell untruths. If she's so damn full of integrity why was she so quick to rush to judgment and MSM with it?

[geek tragedy]

44. You are accusing Dolores Huerta of taking bribes.

Folks like yourself scare people of color away from Bernie.

[notadmblnd]

49. Bullshit. That's just another poor excuse and an attempt

to shut down discussion of something you don't want people talking about.

NO ONE is perfect and EVERYONE has their price. Some are just bought cheaper than others.

[Hekate]

55. Interesting. What is Bernie's price?

JURY: These are the poster's own words. "No one is perfect and everyone has their price."

[840high]

91. aww - the race card. You sound

like a Clinton supporter.

[geek tragedy]

95. I'm sure you all hating on Dolores Huerta while making

crazy, unhinged allegations will help diversify Bernie's base of support.

[840high]

97. It won't matter one bit.

[geek tragedy]

99. For Bernie's sake I hope no Latinos are listening to you nt

[geek tragedy]

15. Her charity did. People are accusing Dolores Huerta of taking bribes.

SMH

[SoLeftIAmRight]

46. you should be in the Olympics - that was a huge jump

be careful - you might twist an ankle

[LonePirate]

18. Are people seriously questioning Huerta's integrity?

What has happened to DU? Yet another day I cannot distinguish DU from FR.

[workinclasszero]

20. Pathetic

That's these horrible attacks are allowed here.

[geek tragedy]

21. Unfortunately, some shrieking Hillary Hating trolls

have attached themselves to Betnie's campaign like barnacles.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

22. I do not know her

but if she tweeted lies - YES I question Huerta's integrity

[leftofcool]

23. I assume you have not seen the second video?

[Joe the Revelator]

27. You mean the one where a Hillary supporter makes a comment from the back of the auditorium?

After the alleged 'incident' took place? That video?

[SoLeftIAmRight]

28. what do they say about those who assume?

Going to the Olympics?

[leftofcool]

26. Not just her integrity but her right to get donation money for her people.

[bettyellen]

31. Oh wow, are you going after the wrong woman. Not a greedy bone in her body. Foolish shit.

[Hekate]

60. This is unbelievably ugly

[bettyellen]

62. If this nonsense about her foundation spread, Bernie is totally fucked.

It is beyond naive, it is ignorant and fucking childish.

[Hekate]

67. I'm beginning to hope so, because they are trying to RUIN a great woman's life work.

If the trolls have their way, every single thing she worked for in her life will be ripped to shreds. It's gotten utterly evil.


JURY: There are trolls out there in real life. Gods forbid I would imply any exist here.

[bettyellen]

75. Did you see Elizabeth Warren under the bus today? For not already endorsing SBS? LOL-

I want to see the complete meltdown they have when BOTH of them endorse Hillary.

[Hekate]

77. Yeah, I saw that. A temper tantrum demanding she endorse BS right this instant....

...then the poo-flinging because I guess she doesn't read DU and didn't get the message yet.

I think the descent into insanity is about complete.

[senz]

41. Hill's foundation gave $100K to Huerta & Huerta made false accusations against Bernie supporters

and so it is wrong, wrong, wrong to disclose this information or discuss any possible connection between the two events?

Hmmm ...

[yourpaljoey]

47. The Hillary Gang - caught red-handed yet again.

[840high]

94. Yes and they're spinning like crazy.

[bettyellen]

80. let's discuss the part where people heckled her yelling for her to get off the stage.

do you think they were a little cranky because Bernie had less than half of the votes Hillary did?
I think that is a real possible connection to that bit of ugliness. How they applauded that there would be no translation.

starts at 53 minutes. this crowd should be ashamed.

https://www.ustream.tv/embed/recorded/83452078?html5ui

[senz]

81. You had better prove these accusations

because there is no way I would take your word for it.

[bettyellen]

83. I added the link. The crowd was very rude to her and happy no translation took place....

Sore losers yelled at her to get off the stage.

Start at 53 min in.

https://www.ustream.tv/embed/recorded/83452078?html5ui

[jsmirman]

92. NO! It's RIGHT! That's why you should tweet, Facebook, share this widely

just make clear that you are a Bernie supporter who has proof that Dolores Huerta is bought and sold.

I think it will go really well. Really, I mean it, go do it!!!

[Hekate]

56. Down the rabbit hole into Free Republic. What a goddam embarrassment.

JURY: I am not the first person in this thread to suggest this accusation is worthy of Freeperville.

[senz]

96. Yes, we know: any examination of Clintonian behavior is "freeperville"

[bettyellen]

84. kick and rec for the embarrassment of it all.

https://www.ustream.tv/embed/recorded/83452078?html5ui

[cui bono]

102. I wish you would delete this. This is not what is needed. Not helpful. It's just wrong.

There is no reason to try and discredit Huerta in this way.

Let's just stick to the events, which have already been shown to be a lot of noise about nothing.

Plus, you are only adding fuel to the fire and playing into the Hillary supporters/campaign's hands. This is what they want. They want you to go after iconic leaders. Don't do it.

Please.

[Starry Messenger]

103. .

golf clap. I hope you are spreading that accusation far and wide.
